Testimonials

B. Jones - Ramsey, NJ

Stella has got to be one of the top brokers in Bergen County. She worked tirelessly and effortlessly guiding my wife and I through the daunting and extremely involved process of buying a house — during this extremely competitive and unprecedented time! Stella’s encyclopedic and thorough knowledge of every house detail and home buying process is phenomenal. We had exposure to other brokers and professionals through the process and Stella outperformed them all. She never put any pressure one us, but used her experience to fight for our bid among others and got our offer accepted! Stella we can’t thank you enough! If you are thinking about buying a home, call Stella! If you know of anyone buying a home, tell them to call Stella!!! The best in the biz!

N. Cavusoglu - Cresskill, NJ

Stella is amazing! I feel blessed I met her at an open house and had the right intuition to engage her to sell my house. Out of all the agents I interviewed she was the most knowledgeable and thorough going through my house. Stella is also very pleasant, calm, patient, honest and a good negotiator. She really cares for her clients and she is not there to just sell and make a quick buck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy, rent or sell a house. You will not be disappointed. I wish I could transport her to CA where I am looking to buy my next house.

S. Katz - Oradell, NJ

Stella is the BEST! We could not have been happier with Stella and her real estate buying and selling expertise. She took the time to get know our differing likes, dislikes and dealbreakers when it comes to a home. The end result was not only getting us into our Dream House for a very fair price, but also listing and selling our home for far more than what we were expecting.

She is kind, caring, personable and professional, while at the same time is adamant about protecting her clients' best interests.

We can't recommend Stella enough!

Rev. N. Mataragas - Westwood, NJ

Stella is simply the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. Plain and simple. You want the job done, you want diligence, you want a go-getter, nice personality, compassion, and someone who knows their stuff? Look no further. Not only is she very honest, but she fights for you from the showing until the closing.

Thank you Stella for making the buying experience most enjoyable for me and my family!

K. Dobbeck - Oradell, NJ

We would heartily recommend Stella for anyone seeking a real estate agent partner. Stella is an expert in all facets, from market, purchase process, and home knowledge, to her savvy navigation of critical decision points in the home buying process. Stella worked tirelessly for us and proved to be an incredible thought partner. In short, we would have not been able to purchase our family’s dream home without Stella!

E. Shim - Old Tappan, NJ

Stella was not just our realtor in our long journey to find our new home in a unique market; she was an honest and caring Partner for us. She has been sensitive to our needs and wants and never relented. Stella ultimately found us our dream home that literally checks all the boxes in a town that we ultimately got to know and loved. Her patience is unmatched and her drive is even more impressive and more importantly, sincere. Now that our search is over and we closed on our home, we are not saddened to part ways with our realtor, but grateful to have found a new friend moving forward. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

M. Saphire - Teaneck, NJ

It was wonderful working with Stella to buy our first home. She helped us navigate a difficult market and guided us through the whole process step by step. We felt supported the whole way through. I cannot reccomend her enough!

CV. Shah - Wyckoff, NJ

Stella is an excellent agent! She is highly knowledgeable and has deep experience in the local housing market. She initially helped us find a rental home on a very tight timeline and over the past 6 months she has worked closely and patiently with us to purchase a home that we feel is a great long-term fit. During this time, Stella has become like a close family friend because she is very friendly and caring, always prioritizing and creatively thinking about our unique and specific needs. A lot of agents can assist you in a property transaction, but it takes a truly special agent to patiently listen to your frustrations, give timely advice, hold firm with the counterparties and be a true advocate for you, especially when things become challenging, like Stella did for us! We
highly recommend Stella!!

J. Richardson - North Haledon, NJ

Stella is an excellent knowledgeable real estate agent. She is very professional and considerate of her clients’ needs. She helped us sell my mother’s condo after her passing. She was very attentive and staged the condo beautifully. The condo sold in a timely manner and we were pleased with the ease of the process. We highly recommend her. Thank you so much for all your help, Stella, and for making the experience easy during a difficult time! Outstanding job!

E. Mier - Cresskill, NJ

I don’t think I could have asked for a more perfect realtor for selling my recently deceased fathers house...her attention to detail and hard working ethics were unbelievable...she works relentlessly, on weekends and even when she was sick...she was unbelievable! Just perfect . Couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!

K. Henriques - Oakland, NJ

Stella is absolutely amazing at what she does. She is hard working and dedicated to her clients. Stella got us our dream house and got us a great deal for our home we were selling. I cannot say enough great things about her and her work ethics. She was always there when we had a question or a concern, walking us every step of the way. Trust me, Stella is the one you want to get a job done! Thanks so much Stella for everything you did to get us this house now. We love you!

M. Somek - Ridgewood, NJ

Stella is a super star real estate agent who has deep knowledge of the market. We have enjoyed working with her every step of the way. She is pleasant, professional and genuine in her approach. We would strongly recommend her to any family in the market for buying, selling or
renting property.

G. Perry - Garfield, NJ

Stella is absolutely amazing ! She is professional , kind and knows all the right questions to ask in order to ensure her clients are happy and find the best place to call home . She truly puts all her effort and expertise into her role as an agent and I couldn’t feel more lucky to have had her as mine . Thank you so much for helping my boyfriend and I find our first apartment together. We will always be grateful and know exactly who to call when we’re ready to buy a house !

S. Spirou - Waldwick, NJ

Stella is amazing to work with! She is very professional, knowledgeable and passionate about real estate. She listens to your needs and does her best to find you what you’re looking for. As first time home buyers she helped us navigate this crazy & competitive market and secured us a beautiful home! She made what is normally a daunting process, easy, and walked us through every step and explained everything. Thank you very much Stella for your dedication and patience! We appreciate all of your help & please know you have made clients and friends for life!

K. Trahanas Esq. - Park Ridge, NJ

Stella is absolutely amazing in every way possible, from her vast experience and in-depth knowledge, to her always pleasant demeanor and prompt responsiveness. Stella went out of her way to meet and exceed every request and expectation. She never made us feel like we were just another client.

Stella made this process truly personal and special. As first time home buyers, my husband and I admittedly lacked direction and required a lot of handholding. Stella managed everything incredibly, from the both the technical and interpersonal sides of things. She could see we wanted to steer the process at first, and was patient as we picked property after property to see. We had poor Stella running around giving us countless virtual tours over FaceTime (at first, due to COVID, and with which she was incredibly effective), and then many more in person tours, probably already knowing that the properties we were not right for us, but honoring our requests and moving forward with a smile. Eventually, sensing our disappointment as we kept picking the wrong houses to see, Stella stepped in and took the lead, telling us which properties she recommended that we see. Much to our relief , we found our home within days of following Stella's recommendations!

We faced countless issues throughout the process, from COVID-19 disclosures, to inspection issues, and even dealing with a broken furnace at closing that required us to negotiate a sum to be left by Sellers in escrow. Stella was knowledgeable, assertive, and professional in every instance. We would have been lost without Stella. We are so grateful to have had her help, and we simply cannot thank her enough! We will absolutely use Stella again and would recommended her to anyone who will listen!

Since our own home purchase, I have had the opportunity to work professionally with Stella as a real estate attorney on countless transactions. I can attest that Stella shows the same dedication, professionalism, and expertise to all her clients across the board. She is a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Stella!

Titlemark LLC - Fair Lawn, NJ

Stella provides an exceptionally professional and efficient service. She was very responsive throughout the whole process and was able to provide sound advice. She is results driven but with a patient and caring approach. I cannot say enough things about her commitment to getting the house rented.

K. Sorvik - Teaneck, NJ

She is the best! Knew exactly what to do to sell my house. At the first open house I got the bids , more that one! And sold it!

Y. Sun - Twp. of Washington, NJ

Stella was very helpful in assisting us purchase our property. She is very experienced as an agent. We had a pleasant time working with her.

B. Ruddy - Dumont, NJ

Stella I want to thank you for all your hard work! I would like to let everyone know that working with you was a very lovely experience, because I felt like I've known you for years instead of a few months. You helped me in all aspects of selling my home from understanding both the happiness and sadness that I was feeling to helping me deal with lawyers and the buyers and the craziness of it all. You were my angel and I really appreciate all that you did thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤

M. Mier - Cresskill, NJ

Stella is an AMAZING realtor! She is knowledgeable, experienced and personable. I definitely recommend working with her.

K. Grammatas - Ringwood, NJ

Meeting Stella through my mother in law is nothing short of “simply meant to be.”
I can’t imagine having had anyone else help my husband and I purchase our first and forever home. Stella has such a thorough grasp on the housing market that will ensure you’re not forgetting a single thing while you’re on the search for your new home. She knows the in’s and out’s so well, and will push to make sure you have every fighting chance to get the house that’s meant for you.
Not only did she help us find our home, but she had an extensive list of references from every inspector we needed to reliable insurance agencies.
Stella has an incredibly unique gift for this job; in that it’s more than a job to her and I knew every time we spoke with her that she loves everything about it. Her complete ease in willingness to guide you every step of the way, (and brutally helpful honesty if you ask her for it), will leave you positive that you’ve made the right choice in asking her to help you find your dream home. If anyone’s going to do it, she absolutely will. So don’t mess around, and go with her.
House hunting is stressful enough on its own, but she’ll ensure it won’t be more than it has to.

K. Cruz - New Milford, NJ

Stella was the absolute best!! So sweet, so professional, and really helped with our entire search for an apartment. When we are ready to buy, Stella will be our go to!

K. Malakas - Oradell, NJ

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! Stella was knowledgeable, reasonable, accessible, detailed, and thorough. She guided us through the whole process, answering all the questions we had. It was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend her!

A. Mandaro - Bloomingdale, NJ

Stella is an amazing realtor! She had such patience with us and totally understood our wants and needs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!

T. Dipirro

Stella pulled all the stops to attract the best buyers and get us the highest value for our home. This is the third transaction in as many years with Stella and we couldn't be happier.

L. Dipirro - Oradell, NJ

This is our 3rd time using Stella since 2017!!!! Each and every time she continues to prove her knowledge, dedication, outstanding marketing strategy, and professionalism in real estate! Stella makes sure to answer any questions you may have, she returns calls promptly, and is very attentive to her clients and their needs. Stella has such a positive and friendly personality which is very helpful during the buying/selling process, which can be quite stressful. I highly recommend Stella if you are looking to buy, sell, or rent. You will be so happy that you did!!!

G. Cicarella - Saddle Brook, NJ

Stella is AWESOME! she really goes the extra mile and beyond for you, and is very understanding as well as knowledgeable and punctual. I would definately recommend her to anyone in need of a Realtor! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you Stella for all you have done for me!

A. Trahanas - Dumont, NJ

If you need a good realtor in the north Jersey area, Stella should be your first and last stop! After much frustration and wasted months trying to get my condo rented with another local realtor (no communication, no transparency, a basic nightmare), Stella was an absolute breath of fresh air. She is completely professional at all times, very knowledgeable in her practice and knows exactly what needs to be done every step of the way. Stella communicates constantly, giving phone updates and sending emails showing activity on your listing. She keeps you in the loop whenever there’s is showings and follows up after each one. After several wasted months working with another realtor, Stella came to my rescue and my condo was not only rented in under a month, it was rented at the asked price and I was able to choose from several promising applicants. I will be recommending Stella to all my friends and family and will, without a doubt, be using her again!

E. Kim - Cranford, NJ

Stella is a very knowledgeable experienced agent who guided us through the process with great advice and a lot of patience. She also happens to be extremely kind and it was easy to grow fond of her right away with her warm disposition. She also knows a TON about remodeling and had so many great ideas on how you could fix a room or remodel it. I am surprised HGTV hasn't snatched her up yet to come work for them. After being unable to find a home in our preferred county, she was still willing to show us homes as far as an hour drive away. We are glad to finally say we have our home now and thank Stella for being a part of the process. Couldn't have done it without you, Stella!!!

D. Newhouse - Paramus, NJ

Having been a homeowner for more then 30 years and having done multiple real estate transactions, I have in the past worked with many Realtors, brokers, lenders, and lawyers. I felt it necessary to post my working experience with Stella. She is a true professional maintaining a high level of integrity, with a vast amount of knowledge gained through experience. Not hiring a professional can be both a costly and stressful venture. Stella has an extremely strong work ethic coupled with the tenacity and determination to do her job with excellence. She has not forgotten The Importance of Being a good listener and understanding the task at hand and then efficiently and effectively carrying it out. She also has not forgotten the importance off treating her clients as she would want to be treated herself. I have spent years seeking out the type of professional people that I want on my team. I would like to take this time to introduce you to one of them. I have not given Stella five stars, her five star review was earned through hard work.

L. Dipirro - Oradell, NJ

Stella sold our house June 2017. Initially, two competing agents had our house appraised at about $560K. She took the time to initially get a solid understanding of our home and set our expectations at a sale price of $720K and with a 30 day close. Once we agreed, she moved very quickly to get our house to market. She utilized various forms of social media to gain the highest visibility to the NYC & NJ markets. As a result, our initial Open House attracted over 50 individual parties. At the Open House, Stella was engaged with each party who walked through. As a result, we had three asking price offers within two days following. Stella worked tirelessly to ensure we closed on time. I would highly recommend Stella.

K. Emmanouilidis - Wyckoff, NJ

Stella made the process as easy as easy as possible from start to finish! She was available to answer any and all of our questions throughout the whole process, offered her expertise and was patient with us as first-time home buyers. She was also able to provide us with many options in terms of inspectors, mortgage lenders, attorneys, etc which all turned out to be excellent recommendations.

M. Dubrow - Paramus, NJ

Stella always puts her clients first and foremost. She absolutely went above and beyond in the service she provided us especially since we live out of state. Stella's experience, confidence, negotiation skills and professionalism were very impressive and valuable in process of selling our home.

K. Williams - Paramus, NJ

Stella was extremely knowledgeable and professional every step of the home buying process. She truly understands the real estate market. She presented us with new listings as they came available and worked with our schedule to show us the properties. When viewing properties, Stella was prepared with listing details and easily pointed out the homes' features. This helped us visualize how they could fit our needs. Stella worked tirelessly for us as clients from the beginning of the home buying process till the end. She helped us find us a home that was perfect for our family.
